Rummenigge Urges Neuer to Stay Amid Criticism

Bayern Munich's former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has publicly defended goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, urging the club to keep him for another season despite fan pressure to replace him with Jonas Urbig.

After Bayern Munich’s loss to Paris Saint‑Germain in the Champions League semi‑final, Neuer faced calls from supporters to be replaced. Rummenigge said the club would welcome Neuer staying another year, praising his long‑term contribution and high performance level. He added that Neuer could help develop the young keeper Jonas Urbig, and that the goalkeeping squad, including Sven Ulreich and coach Michael Rechner, should remain united. iwanktv.club
